Got my r450 on Friday, walked in to the dealer to look at it and ended up buying a white one, need less to say the bike is Bad A** . I'm finally retiring my 250r.
As soon as I picked up the bike I went over to my buddies shop - Performance ATV, Miami, FL and we began getting it ready for the track on Sunday. I removed the headlight and brake light, which could have not been any easier. Swapped the bars for some Tag and swapped the clutch lever and brake lever for some ASV levers. I also swapped the rims and tire from my r, (same bolt pattern as the r). The width on this bike is the same as my r which is + 2.
Spent Sunday riding on the track and I have to say I was very impressed with the bike. The only thing is that the bike does come restricted from factory. I already order the Cherry Bomb which I should have by Wednesday. I was very impressed with the suspension, it felt close to the elkas on my r. It was a bit stiff but with a little adjustment they felt much better. The shifting was very smooth and throttle response was excellent. The bike handled very good on the turns and jumps. The placement of the bars and pegs are just right.
